Rio Rancho Police report arrests Jan. 18 through 24
Fourteen people were arrested in Rio Rancho Jan. 18–24, including multiple aggravated DWI arrests and several charges involving household members, a pattern that affects road safety and domestic violence response.
Rio Rancho Police Department arrest records for Jan. 18–24 show a string of traffic- and household-related arrests that bear on public safety and community services. The entries, compiled by Michaela Helean from RRPD arrest records, list names, ages, hometowns, charges and the location phrasing provided in the records.
On Jan. 18, Patricia Perea, 21, of Bernalillo, was arrested for aggravated DWI and careless driving at an unspecified address. Zaylan Baker, 25, of Albuquerque, was arrested for aggravated DWI, improper turn, operation of vehicle on approach of emergency vehicle, driving while license revoked, no insurance and expired registration on Unser and Cabezon boulevards. Dat Nguyen, 34, of Albuquerque, was arrested for aggravated DWI, reckless driving, speeding, failure to register or title vehicle and no proof of insurance at an unspecified address.
On Jan. 19, Mia Martinez, 24, of Taos, was arrested for aggravated DWI at an unspecified address.
On Jan. 20, Christopher Silva, 31, of Belen, was arrested for battery against a household member and criminal damage to the property of a household member at an unspecified address. Jesse Pennington, 52, of Moriarty, was arrested for aggravated battery against a household member at a redacted address.
On Jan. 22, Dustin Armstrong, 39, of Rio Rancho, was arrested for aggravated battery against a household member at a redacted address. John Quintana, 58, of Rio Rancho, was arrested for driving while license revoked and improper equipment at an unspecified address.
On Jan. 23, Michael Jacques, 20, of Rio Rancho, was arrested for battery against a household member at a redacted address. Cory Soberanez, 37, of Rio Rancho, was arrested for interference with officers at an unspecified address.
On Jan. 24, Aaron Leeder, 39, of Rio Rancho, was arrested for battery against a household member at a redacted address. Jonathan Van-Tussenbroek, 32, of Ruidoso, was arrested for shoplifting, disorderly conduct and interference with officers at an unspecified address. Joseph Sanchez, 41, of Albuquerque, was arrested for receiving or transferring stolen motor vehicles at an unspecified address. Anthony Williams, 34, of Rio Rancho, was arrested for falsely obtaining services and disorderly conduct at Denny's on Unser Boulevard.
The record for the week highlights two persistent local concerns: impaired driving and incidents involving household members. Multiple aggravated DWI entries underline ongoing traffic-safety risks on major corridors such as Unser Boulevard, while repeated battery and aggravated battery charges suggest pressure on victim services and law enforcement resources. The arrest log entries do not include case numbers, booking details, bond amounts or court dates; locations are listed as "unspecified address" or "redacted address" in several cases, limiting situational detail.
For residents, the entries signal where public-safety attention may be needed and where civic leaders and police can prioritize prevention, traffic enforcement and support for victims of domestic violence. Follow-up public records requests to RRPD can provide incident reports and court information for those seeking more detail; local officials can clarify next steps on prosecution, services and community outreach.
